The importance of energy efficiency in prefabricated industrial buildings makes it one of the key factors when selecting the right solution for a company today.
In the past, energy efficiency was an unknown term and, therefore, was not considered when acquiring an industrial building. Today, the relevance of its benefits makes it one of the most important factors to consider when making a purchase decision.
The energy efficiency of prefabricated industrial buildings impacts the company on various levels: economic, image, productivity, and even employee loyalty, among others.

The importance of energy efficiency in prefabricated industrial buildings.
At VALL we build sustainable prefabricated industrial buildings. The energy efficiency of our prefabricated industrial buildings and tents is primarily based on elements such as TWS roof systems and rigid double-panel sandwich cladding.
Efficiency and environmental responsibility are part of our values.
Economic savings and profitability thanks to energy efficiency.
The economic savings provided by having a prefabricated industrial building with excellent energy efficiency is one of its great advantages.
The energy consumption needs of industrial buildings for tasks such as keeping machines at optimal temperature, improving visibility, or maintaining a comfortable working temperature that contributes to better productivity, are significant.
But when there is good energy efficiency, these energy consumption needs are significantly reduced. This translates into great economic savings in daily energy supply bills.
Combined with the durability of prefabricated industrial buildings, the savings over their decades of lifespan is substantial. And the savings on resources such as heating systems or cooling systems are also noteworthy.
All this guarantees greater profitability of the investment when choosing prefabricated industrial buildings with good energy efficiency.
Reducing the company’s carbon footprint and improving the company’s green image.
Reducing a company’s carbon footprint with the help of prefabricated industrial buildings is another relevant point. Nowadays, a company’s environmental impact is a matter that transcends and reducing the carbon footprint involves improvements in many areas: public image, customer acquisition, greater business opportunities in terms of partnerships, receiving investments or alliances with other companies, compliance with environmental regulations…
Prefabricated industrial buildings that help reduce energy costs facilitate achieving companies’ carbon footprint reduction targets. The TWS roof systems are one of the keys to an industrial building with excellent energy efficiency.
Comfort and safety at work in prefabricated industrial buildings with greater simplicity and fewer resources thanks to energy efficiency.
Achieving a comfortable temperature at work centers is key to greater productivity for the personnel working in industrial buildings.
The absence of cold in winter and avoiding extreme heat in summer improves worker well-being and safety. It also minimizes the risk of distractions that could lead to workplace accidents or costly mistakes. Additionally, it contributes to the reduction of sick leaves related to temperature at the workplace.
Workplace safety and employee well-being are two key aspects in achieving employee loyalty and retaining talent within a company.
Prefabricated industrial buildings with good energy efficiency allow for achieving a comfortable and safe interior temperature with fewer resources, more economic savings, and greater simplicity, as there’s no need to constantly monitor it except on the most extreme temperature days of the year.
Increased durability of machines, digital components, and certain goods stored in a building with good energy efficiency.
Most modern machines and digital components suffer from extreme temperatures, particularly vulnerable to ambient heat. Therefore, good energy efficiency inside industrial buildings is key to their optimal operation and durability, ultimately providing economic advantages.
Additionally, some goods require maintaining a suitable temperature range for optimal preservation. Pharmaceuticals, food, and digital components are just a few examples. Achieving an environment within that optimal temperature range with lower energy consumption helps to reduce losses, save costs, and ensures goods leave the building in the best possible condition for the client.
Optimization of production processes, key to greater productivity.
A prefabricated industrial building with excellent energy efficiency contributes to greater company productivity. One reason is that by maintaining a smoother indoor temperature throughout the year, preventive machine stoppages to avoid overheating are reduced.
Stoppages due to high temperatures and breakdowns resulting from this issue are also reduced.
This reduction in downtime equates to more time in production without affecting equipment safety and durability.
It’s important to consider the relationship between excellent energy efficiency in prefabricated industrial buildings and greater productivity due to these factors, as well as improved focus and efficiency of human teams.
